I have a friend who is an attorney in the United States, and I am a Canadian resident. Can I use his services to draft legal documents, particularly a separation agreement?
 
It depends. Are you a canadien resident living in the US? He is not allowed to practice law in Canada. Just drafting dcuments is pretty minor, but you need to be sure that he understands Canadas laws of court.
